PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
3
1. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
2. Do not connect this appliance to air ducts or any air distribu-
tion system.
3. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING
SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
4. Do not use class B venting intended for gas appliances as a
chimney or connector pipe on a pellet-fired appliance.
5. The minimum clearances must be maintained for all com-
bustible surfaces and materials including; furniture, carpet,
drapes, clothing, wood, papers, etc. Do not store combustibles
within this clearance space (see Clearances on Page 9).
6. INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER - It is imperative that the exhaust
venting system be installed correctly and sealed gas-tight
(not allowing exhaust to leak). Follow the vent manufac-
turer's instructions for proper installation. Since IHP has
no control over the installation of your fireplace insert, IHP
grants no warranty, implied or stated for the installation or
maintenance of your insert, and assumes no responsibility
for any consequential damage(s).
7. Burning any kind of fuel consumes oxygen. If outside air is
not ducted to the appliance, ensure that there is an adequate
source of fresh air available to the room where the appliance
is installed.
8. The appliance will not operate using natural draft, nor without
a power source for the blower and fuel feeding systems.
9. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up”
a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the
heater while it is in use.
10. The authority having jurisdiction such as municipal build-
ing department, fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc
should be consulted before installation to determine the need
to obtain a permit.
11. APPROVED FUEL:
This appliance is designed specifically for
use only with pelletized wood pellets or a mixture of up to
50% corn mixed with a minimum of 50% pelletized wood pel
-
lets. This mixture of wood pellets and corn should be evenly
pre-mixed before being placed in the units hopper. This
appliance is designed and approved for the burning of wood
residue pellets with up to 2% ash content. This appliance is
NOT approved to burn cardboard, nut hulls, cherry pits, etc.
regardless if it is in pellet form. Failure to comply with this
restriction will void all warranties and the safety listing of the
stove. Consult with your IHP dealer for more information on
approved pellet fuels.
12. These appliances are designed as supplemental heaters.
Therefore, it is advisable to have an alternate heat source
when installed in a dwelling.
13. CONTINUOUS OPERATION: When operated correctly, this
appliance cannot be overfired. Continuous operation at a
maximum burn can, however, shorten the life of the electri
-
cal components (blowers, motors, and electronic controls),
and is not recommended. Typical approved operation would
include running at the low to mid range setting with occasional
running on the maximum setting during the coldest periods
of the winter.
DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS INSERT. Follow all
instructions regarding the proper use of this insert.
14. CAUTION: NEVER PUT FINGERS NEAR AUGER.
This appliance
is equipped with a hopper lid switch, which is designed to stop
the auger when the hopper lid is opened.
NEVER DISCONNECT
OR BYPASS THIS SWITCH FOR ANY REASON.
Pellet fuel is fed
to the Burn Pot by a screw auger. This auger is driven by a
high torque motor. The auger is capable of causing serious
harm to fingers. Keep pellets in the hopper at all times and
keep fingers away from auger. The auger can start and stop
automatically at any time while the stove is running.
15.
CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. An appliance hot enough
to warm your home can severely burn anyone touching it. Keep
children, pets, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause
skin burns. Do not let children touch the appliance. Train them
to stay a safe distance from the appliance.
16. FLY ASH BUILD-UP: For all wood pellet fuel-burning heaters,
the combustion gases will contain small particles of fly-ash.
This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel being burned.
Over time, the fly-ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. The exhaust
venting system should be inspected regularly and cleaned as
necessary.
17. SOOT FORMATION: Incomplete combustion, such as occurs
during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room
heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in
the exhaust venting system. A precautionary inspection on
a regular basis is advisable to determine the necessity of
cleaning. The exhaust venting system should be inspected
regularly and cleaned as necessary.
18. DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a steel
container with a tight fitting lid and moved outdoors imme
-
diately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, outside of the dwelling pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
19. The instructions must be strictly adhered to. Do not use
makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.
20. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar
trauma. Do not operate the insert with the glass removed,
cracked or broken.
21. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
22. See the listing label on the appliance.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
WARNING
Check all local building and safety codes before
installation. The installation instructions and appro-
priate code requirements must be followed exactly
and without compromise. Alterations to the stove are
not allowed. Do not connect the stove to a chimney
system serving another stove, appliance, or any air
distribution duct. Failure to follow these instructions
will void the manufacturers warranty.
The installation of this appliance must conform to local codes and appli-
cable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements
before installation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with
local building officials include:
1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or Regional
Codes).
Electrical codes:
In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70 – Latest Edition
In Canada, CSA C22.1 – Latest Edition
2. Local amendments
3. Is a permit required - cost. You may wish to contact your insurance
company to ask if they require this.
4. If outside combustion air is required
5. Rooms where the installation is not allowed
Power Supply Requirements
The power cord must be plugged into a standard, 120 volt, 60 Hz
grounded electrical outlet. The power supply cord must be routed to
avoid contact with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface areas of the
stove. When installed in a manufactured home, the appliance must be
electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the manufactured home (see
Mobile Home Installations on Page 13, for additional requirements).
These requirements must be met unless otherwise specified by state
or local authorities.
Questions To Ask Local Building Official
A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and
perilous conditions that can arise when wood pellet burning appliances
are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufactur-
ers’ instructions.
WARNING
Electrical grounding instructions: This appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for
your protection against shock hazard and should
be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the ground-
ing prong from this plug. Do not route power cord
under or in front of appliance.
Smoke Detector Recommended
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by these appliances).
If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.
Carbon Monoxide Monitor Recommended
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poison-
ing are similar to the flu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you
have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others, including pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence
of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
It is against federal regulations to operate wood heaters in a man-
ner inconsistent with operating instructions in the manual.
Surge Protectors
A surge protector is recommended to ensure the stove’s electrical com-
ponents are not damaged due to a surge in the electrical supply. Only
high quality protectors listed to UL1449 should be used - low quality
protectors do not provide the protection needed.
Installation / Maintenance Standards
National Fire Protection Association – The primary NFPA standard that
refers to installation and maintenance of pellet stoves and venting is
NFPA 211 – Latest Edition: Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel
appliances.
Electrical
• The fireplace insert requires 120 volts AC for operation.
• Maximum wattage is 700.
• Igniter wattage is 400.
• Normal operating wattage is 300.
Electrical Generator Operation
Your Winslow™ PI40GL insert can be powered with a gas driven electrical
generator. However, the generator’s electrical regulator may not be compat-
ible with the insert’s electronics. The higher the quality of the generator,
the greater the chance that it is compatible with the insert.
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals includ-
ing Carbon Black, which is known to the State of
California to cause cancer, and Carbon Monoxide,
which is known to the State of California to cause
birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more
information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine
its value as a source of heat. This type of appliance depends primarily on
air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central
location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which
must be considered before a final selection of locations is made. Some
of which includes:
Existing Chimneys
Pellet Fuel Storage
Aesthetic Considerations
Roof Design (rafter locations & roof pitch)
Room Traffic
Proximity to Combustibles
Electrical Wiring
SELECTING A LOCATION
CAUTION
The body of these appliances are very heavy. The
use of a heavy duty escalara (stair step hand truck)
is recommended for lifting the appliance body.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING
This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure envi
-
ronment. In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace
cold air returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in
close proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure
in the same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous
condition, drawing combustion by-products into the home. Be sure your
home has adequate makeup air to eliminate negative pressures caused
by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air connected to the appliance
probably will not resolve such a problem as the stove is not the source
of negative pressure. IHP accepts no liability for damages resulting from
negative pressures described here.
Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for combustion. The
fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space where
it will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a solid-fuel-burning
heater. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may inhibit the rate
the exhaust flows through the venting system (caused by a shortage of
air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household
appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat
pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and other
fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater
uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery
in the dwelling is insufficient to support the demands of these appli
-
ances, problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure will result
in performance problems. To correct this problem it may help to open
a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install an
outside combustion air duct to the appliance.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Wood pellets manufactured to the pellet fuels institute (P.F.I.) certification
standard are available in two grades, Standard and Premium. The primary
difference between the two is the ash content of the pellets.
The P.F.I. specification for standard grade and premium grade residential
and commercial pellet fuel is as follows:
• CHLORIDES (Salt): Less than 300 p.p.m. to avoid stove and vent
rusting.
BULK DENSITY: 38 to 40 lb. / Cu. Ft. minimum
MOISTURE CONTENT: 8% to 10% maximum
ASH CONTENT: < 2% maximum (standard grade) < 1% maximum
(premium grade)
FINES: 0.5% to 1% maximum through a 1/8” screen
BTU CONTENT: There are a number of variations in pellet fuels that are
not included in PFI standards. For example, BTU (heat value) content
may range from just under 8,000 to almost 9,000 Btu, depending upon
species and region of the country and other variables.
Corn Fuel Specifications
Use only clean-shelled corn with a moisture content less than 15% and
approximate fuel value of 7000 BTU/lb (16,200 kJ/kg). Do not attempt
to burn corn with higher moisture content or burn lesser grade fuels.
Do not burn other types of agricultural pellets or by-products (alfalfa,
cherry pits, olive pits, nut shells, etc.) as they are not permitted to be
burned in these appliances.
Shelled corn can be burned in this appliance when it is mixed with wood
pellet fuel. The mixture can contain a maximum of 50 percent corn. Burn-
ing corn may create more ash than wood pellets and may necessitate the
need to clean the Burn-Pot and glass more frequently.
Store corn in a tight container and use methods to ensure the corn does
not become rain soaked or absorb moisture from damp or wet sources.
This will also prevent rodents from becoming a problem. Do not store
corn within stove installation clearances.
NOTES:
Corn with excessive grain dust must be screened, by sifting with
3/16" mesh screening. Large pieces of cob may plug the auger.
• When changing from burning all wood pellets to burning a corn
and wood pellet mix, the draft adjuster may need to be adjusted to
achieve proper combustion.
FUEL
CAUTION
The use of unapproved, dirty, wet and / or high salt
content fuel will void the warranty!
This insert is designed to burn wood pellet fuel. In addition, a corn/wood
pellet mixture, with a maximum of 50 percent corn can be burned. Burning
any other fuel that is not approved for use with this appliance will void
the appliance warranty. IMPORTANT: The corn/wood mix needs to be
mixed evenly before being put in the pellet stove hopper.
Wood Pellet Specifications
This appliance has been designed to burn wood residue pellets with up
to 2% ash content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the performance of the
stove. Any questions regarding pellet fuel can be answered at the Pellet
Fuels Institute (PFI), www.pelletheat.org.
Pellet fuel is made from sawdust and scrap wood from many different
species of wood. Pellets are either 1/4” or 5/16” in diameter and vary in
length. The PI40GL insert will burn either diameter pellets. Pellets made
from hardwoods contain more ash than those made from softwoods.
Minerals from ash and sand in the pellets form clinkers under the extreme
temperatures in the Burn-Pot. Try burning various brands of pellets until
you find one that burns with minimum ash and clinkers. Once you find
a pellet brand that burns well, continue using this brand. High ash fuel
increases the frequency of stove cleaning. Fuel with an excessive moisture
content may jam the auger assembly.
Clinkering - Silica (or sand) in the fuel, along with other impurities, can
cause clinkering. A clinker is a hard mass of silica formed in the burning
process. Clinkering is a function of the fuel, (not the stove), but adversely
affects the performance of the stove by blocking off the air passages in
the Burn-Pot. Even P.F.I. approved pellet fuel may tend to clinker. See
Maintenance for more information on cleaning.
Pellet Fuel Storage -
Store your wood pellets in a dry place to prevent them from absorb-
ing excess moisture.
• Do Not store your wood pellets within the clearance zone of the
stove.
Do Not store your wood pellets in a place that would block access
to refueling the hopper.
WARNING
Do not burn treated seed corn! Seed corn is treated
with chemical pesticides that are harmful or fatal
if swallowed. Burning treated corn will void your
warranty!

Control Board Installation
The Winslow PI40GL insert is shipped with the control board wrapped
and placed behind the firebox. To install the control board, unwrap it
and the right side surround panel found in the surround kit. There are
four prongs protruding from the surround. Place the two slots in the
bottom and the two holes in the top of the control board over the four
prongs on the surround panel. Install the surround panels following the
instructions on Page 12.
Venting
This fireplace insert is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL
pellet vent pipe (listed to UL 641 and ULC S609) or listed pellet flex liner
(2100HT [degree F.] liner listed to UL 1777 or ULC S635). The insert’s
flue collar is 3” in diameter. The insert’s combustion blower pressurizes
and pushes flue gases out the pellet pipe. All pipe joints should be locked
together or screwed with three screws if the pipe does not have a locking
system. The pipe joints can be sealed with high temperature silicone if
there is a possibility of flue gases leaking into the living area. The pipe
should be fastened with three screws to the insert’s flue collar. The longer
the run of pipe and the more elbows used, the greater the resistance to
the flow of flue gases. Four inch diameter pellet pipe is recommended
for pipe runs greater than 15 feet or when a number of elbows are used.
A 3-4” increaser can be used to connect the 4” pipe to the 3” flue col-
lar. The outside air pipe may run up the chimney, horizontally, or down
provided the structural integrity of the fireplace and chimney system
are maintained. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Vent Termination Requirements:
If the insert is not vented vertically, the following apply:
1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas
such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely
fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build
up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway,
etc.
2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched.
Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended
that at least five feet of vertical pipe be installed outside when the
insert is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft
to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut
down or power failure and avoid exposing people or shrubs to high
temperatures.
4. The vent should terminate no less than four feet below, no less than
four feet horizontally from, and no less than one foot above doors
and windows, or gravity/ventilation air inlets into the building.
5. The distance from the bottom of termination to grade is 12” (305 mm)
minimum unless otherwise specified by the vent manufacturer. The
distance between the bottom of the termination and a public walkway
should be a minimum of seven feet.
6. Locate the vent termination at least two feet away from combustible
materials such as shrubs, plants, grass, fences, roof overhangs, and
adjacent buildings.

The recommended pipe installation is running the pellet pipe
from the insert all the way to the top of the chimney. However,
the pipe may terminate inside the chimney above the damper if
the chimney is sealed below the pellet pipe termination with a
block off panel (see Figure 10). The insert can also be vented
horizontally out the back of the fireplace, but a listed pellet pipe
thimble must be used if the pipe goes through a combustible wall
and the structural integrity of the fireplace and chimney system
must be maintained.
Insert Leveling
Inside the firebox is a bag of hardware with four 4”x 3/8” carriage
bolts. If the insert needs to be leveled, install one of these bolts
(from the bottom side) in the nuts at the left and right rear of the
base of the insert. Open the front door and remove the bolts screwed
into the nuts at the left and right front of the firebox floor.
From the bottom outside of the insert, install the remaining two
carriage bolts in the nuts from which the bolts were just removed.
A zero clearance front support is available to fill the space between
the insert and hearth.
Surround (Flange) Installation
To install the surround panels:
1. Remove the side doors (see Page 25) to access the surround
mounting brackets. Remove the speed nuts from the parts bag
found in the firebox. Install the six speed nuts (with the flat
surface forward) on the six surround mounting bracket holes,
three on each side of the insert. A flat-bladed screwdriver may
help in installing the nuts. See the expanded view in Figure
11A.
2. Screw the six 1/4” truss head screws partially into the speed
nuts (see A in Figure 11A).
3. The side surround panel with the small access door for the
control board goes on the right side of the insert (see Figures
11B and 11C). Slide the slots in the side surround panels and
top surround panels behind the heads of the truss screws.
Tighten all six truss screws after shifting surround panels to
eliminate space between the side and top surround panels.
4. Install two spring clips approximately five inches from each
end of each of the three trim pieces. The spring clips should be
installed in the channel of the trim with the curved portion of
the clip to the front toward the rounded surface of the trim.
5. Place the longest trim piece with the rounded surface out along
the edge of the top surround panel with the spring clips slightly
behind the surround panel. Pull the trim forward, compressing
the spring clips, and slide the trim down onto the surround.
6. Insert the elbowed retainer in the mitred end of the side trim
pieces and fasten with flat screwdriver. Insert the other end
of the retainer in the end of the already installed top surround
trim and slide side trim onto the edge of the side surround
compressing the spring clips in the process. Repeat the same
steps for the other side trim. Fasten the elbowed retainer
securely in the top surround making a nice mitred corner.

Outside Air Installations
Connecting the Winslow PI40GL insert to outside combustion air is
required in manufactured home installations and when required by local
building codes. The fireplace insert’s air intake will accept 2” ID pipe to
accommodate outside air installations. The air intake on the exterior of
the home should always be located a minimum of 18” below the flue
termination and must remain free of obstruction. The inlet must also
have a screen with openings not larger than 1/4” to prevent rodents
from entering. The outside air pipe may run up the chimney, horizontally,
or down provided the structural integrity of the fireplace and chimney
system are maintained.
Thermostat installation
The Winslow PI40GL insert can be operated manually or by thermostat.
The insert comes from the factory wired to operate manually, see control
board operation on Page 20. A low voltage thermostat can be installed
on the insert. To install the thermostat:
1. Unplug the insert from the electrical outlet. Open the right side door
and lift out the control board from its retaining brackets. Locate the
light green wiring block at the bottom back of the board (see Figure
13), loosen the two screws B at the back of the block, and remove
the U shaped jumper wire A protruding from the block.
2. Insert a wire from the thermostat into one of the slots from which the
jumper wire was removed. Repeat this process for the other thermostat
wire.
Retain the jumper wire for future reinstallation. See Page 20 for ther-
mostat operation instructions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Install the thermostat per the manufacturers
instructions, provided with the thermostat. Failure to follow
manufacturers instructions could result in a malfunction. Pay
special attention to the thermostat location requirements. If the
location requirements are not adhered to the appliance, erratic
operation or failure may occur.
Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by:
Radiant heat from the insert, fireplaces, sun or other heat
sources.

that all pieces are present before beginning installation. Take care
not to scratch finished surfaces.
2. Open right and left side door. The side doors swivel open towards
the back of the insert. See Figure 16.
3. Open front door. Put door trim in place by inserting trim studs into
the corresponding holes in the front door (Figures 14 and 15). The
upper door trim will only fit in one direction, but the lower door trim
can be installed incorrectly. When placing the lower door trim, make
sure that the distance between the top edge of the lower door trim to
the glass in the door is 9/16” (see Figure 18).
IMPORTANT
If you have a gold or nickel trim, be sure to clean
them with a soft cloth and household glass cleaner
prior to burning the insert. Fingerprints left on the
plated surfaces while burning will usually remain
on the finish permanently.

Control Board
The control board regulates all functions of the insert. The following is
a list of the board’s components:
Feeding light - lights up when the auger is feeding pellets into the
Burn-Pot.
Ready Light - lights up when insert is ready to operate.
Igniting Light - lights up when the insert is in the ignition sequence.
Start Button - is pushed to start the ignition sequence after the heat
selector knob is turned from off.
Heat Selector Knob - is turned to off to shut the insert off or turned
to a setting from 1 to high to regulate the burn rate.
Igniter Fuse - six amp fuse to protect igniter heating element.
Control Fuse - three amp fuse to protect the control board.
Lighting
1. Turn the heat selector knob (see Figure 34) to the heat level desired - 1
through high - and the ready light will turn green.
2. Push the start button and the ignite and feeding lights will come on
and the lighting sequence will begin. For about the next 15 minutes the
insert will feed pellets cyclically into the Burn-Pot, the combustion fan
will come on, and the igniter will heat up. During this sequence, some
smoke in the firebox is to be expected. After the igniting sequence is
complete, the insert will begin burning at the level indicated by the
heat selector knob.
NOTE: Upon the insert’s initial light up, or if the insert has previously run
out of pellets, the auger feed tube may not contain a sufficient number of
pellets to allow the insert to continue burning after the ignition sequence.
It may be necessary to push the start button a second time to run the start
sequence again. It is important to always empty (when cool) the Burn-Pot
of pellets before pushing the start button a second time.
Filling the Hopper
The hopper can be accessed by lifting the lid at the rear of the top of the
insert. The hopper will hold 60 pounds of pellets. Remove any contents
from the hopper and fill with pellets.
To fill the hopper when stove is off:
1. Lift the hopper lid to its full opened position.
2. Fill the hopper with pellets.
3. Check to make sure there are no remaining pellets on top of the
hopper that may prevent the hopper lid from fully closing.
4. Close Hopper lid.
To fill the hopper when stove is in operation:
1. Repeat steps 1 thru 4 above.
2. When finished, check the burn pot to assure there is substantial
combustion taking place to light the pellets once the pellets start
feeding after refueling.
3. If combustion is not present in the burn pot then the unit will need
to be restarted. This can be done by turning the heat setting dial to
off and back to the desired heat setting 1 thru 5. You will then have
to press the start button to initiate ignition.
CAUTION: Failure to confirm pellets in the Burn Pot remain
burning after re-fueling may result in smoke escaping from the
unit. Smoke escaping the unit can also be a result of ignition
of the unit with excessive pellets located inside the burn pot.
Figure 34
Manual Operation
After the insert is burning (see Lighting on this page), the heat selector
knob controls the pellet burn rate and the insert’s heat output. Turning
the knob to setting 1 allows the insert to burn about 1.8 pounds of pellets
per hour - about 8,500 BTUs per hour. Turning the knob to high allows
the insert to burn 4.7 pounds of pellets per hour - about 39,000 BTUs per
hour. Once set, the insert will continue to burn at this rate until shut off.
Thermostat Operation
This insert will operate with a low voltage thermostat. See Page 14 for
instructions on installing the thermostat. Once installed, the thermostat
will control the operation of the insert. Important: When connected to a
thermostat, it is necessary to push the ignite button for the initial burn,
when the electrical flow to the insert is interrupted, if the selector knob
is turned to off (and then back on), or if the insert runs out of pellets and
therefore shuts off. After the initial ignition sequence, when the thermostat
calls for heat (the room temperature is less than the temperature set on
the thermostat) and the heat selector knob is not in the off position, the
insert will burn at the heat selector knob setting. The higher the setting,
the quicker the room will heat up. Once the thermostat no longer calls for
heat (the room is up to the desired temperature), the insert will continue
to burn for one additional hour at the lowest setting. If the thermostat
does not call for heat again during that hour, the insert will shut off. Dur-
ing that hour, if the thermostat calls for heat again, the insert will again
burn at the heat selector knob setting until the thermostat no longer
calls for heat. If the insert shuts off after that hour it will relight when
the thermostat calls for heat.
OPERATION
WARNING
Never empty pellets from the Burn-Pot into the hopper.
Pellets that may appear to be cool may retain enough
heat to ignite other pellets resulting in smoke or fire
damage.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause seri-
ous damage to your stove and void your warranty. It
also may create a fire hazard in your home. IF ANY
EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW,
YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately slide the knob
to the "OFF" position on the control board.
